Solid toes and panty area.
Although the label says these fit 90-160 lbs, our stretch tests said they'll fit much more than that!

We've found that these have an impressive stretch! The legs of the tights could fit up to 25 inches at the thigh. The waistband and panty area maxes out on hips and waists that are 44 inches, but comfortably go up to the waist.

Remember that the more around they stretch the less length you get, but these are stretchy enough that average inseams should have no trouble. Drop us a line with your measurements if you want to be more sure how these will fit for you.

The sheer black stripes are a bit delicate, so be gentle putting these on to avoid those tiny snags that can mar the texture.

The way that the stripes are woven and knit into these tights means that there will be those slight fuzzies at the edge of the stripes. We've found it's very much one of those things you notice because they're on you and your leg is right there, but from a few steps back one doesn't see anything but amazingly clad legs.

Size MattersThe product itself is great! But I would be careful about sizing! In the description specific measurements were listed, but the product would fit/stretch to much more. I'm only a few inches bigger than the max measurements but the tights didn't go farther than my upper thigh. While I could try and turn them into great thigh highs, I was looking for tights. So while I really recommend these because of their look, I wouldn't buy them if you measure anything above their listed measurements just to be extra sure!

Wowy-wowerton!These are comfortable and sassy! I'm a short woman with a big booty and thick thighs. I am always concerned with tights/stalkings because, like pants, for the most part they tend to work better for ladies with longer legs. Usually they are ill fitting/tight or go up to the boobs... which is so uncomfy. These tights rock! Soft, sexy and super fun! They fit really nicely. Happy!

Gloriously edgyI'm 5'8" and wear a 16/18 pants, and these fit wonderfully on me! They're really long, so if you're taller than me, you're still good (and especially if you're skinnier). They're SUPER SOFT, like wearing a cool blanket around your legs, and they're strong enough to wear a few wears before putting them in the wash. Really cute. I wear them out all the time.

Gorgeous, but delicateI ADORE how these look - they're simply divine. They're also really comfortable and silky-smooth. But I am sad to say that I'm disappointed in them. I wore these for the first time last night, but when I took my shoes off, I found that the heel had worn through and there was a gaping hole, which has never happened to me before. I'm so sad! I want to order another pair, but I'm afraid I'm just going to wear them out again. :(

Soft as a Dream!I only bought these a few days ago, and I haven't worn them around much, but so far I'm in love with them. They're soft as a cloud and fit absolutely perfectly - no pulling or uncomfortable tightness when I move around. They're very delicate in the sheer parts, but that's to be expected, and as long as I care for them I'm sure they'll last a while. I'm so excited to wear these all summer, they look great under both skirts and shorts. If you're looking for both comfort and sass, these are the tights for you.

So softLike most tights and sheer fabrics, they are thin and not particularly strong. However, these are everything I'd hoped. They arrived about 3 days after ordering, and they feel amazing. I don't plan to wear them too often due to the delicacy of the fabric, but they look great. I'm a really small person (about 5 feet / 151 cm), so they're almost loose on me, but I like that. Not squeezing, but not actually "loose". Dressy enough to wear to important events, comfy enough to wear at home. No issues whatsoever.

Pretty tightsI really loved these tights for a steampunk Mr. Smee I built for DragonCon! They're sexy, pretty, and fit REALLY well. And I normally HATE tights/hose! My only concern is that they seem thin; I was adjusting and ripped a HUGE hole in the thigh when first putting them on. As I was a pirate, I didn't mind, but I would have been devastated had I been costuming as a proper lady.

So lovely, but way too delicate.I only got to wear these twice. They are lovely, look great, but sadly... they are so very delicate. They need to be handled really carefully... almost too carefully for my busy life. For those that want them for one or two wears, go for it. I WILL recommend them, but only for those with the patience to care for them with super gentle hands. SUPER GENTLE HANDS. :)

Hi :) These tights look so cool but I was wondering how long they might be? I'm only 5 foot 3 and weigh about 110-115lbs. Most of my tights are uncomfortably long.

Asked by: Lilysantea

When laid out flat (unstretched) they measure about 32 inches from waist to toes. From gusset to toes they're about 24 inches when laid flat, with at least 32 inches of comfortable flat stretch. And that's not accounting for the room that feet take up, since they don't have formed heels.
I would say that if you have close to a 30 inch inseam they'll probably fit pretty well.

Hello, I am 5'4 at 190 pounds. Would these tights fit me?

Asked by: gypsyofmars

It's hard to say because of the wide range of human body shapes - some people carry more of their weight on their torso, some people carry it on their hips and legs. We have found that these will fit a bit above the suggested weight range (again, depending on the individual person's shape), so if I had to guess I'd say you'd probably be alright, but given that we can't take returns on tights which have been tried on, your best bet would be to find a tape measure or a piece of string and a ruler to measure it with, and compare your hip and thigh measurements to those listed in our sizing tips.
For more details on how to measure yourself, we've got a handy blog entry! http://blog.sockdreams.com/2014/04/18/tips-and-tricks-measuring/

I'm wondering if these will show my stretch marks?

Asked by: legsfordays1213

The sheer parts are very sheer, so I would guess that they would show. I'm afraid the only opaque vertically striped tights we have come with flowers, but they are quite adorable! http://www.sockdreams.com/products/flower-lane-tights

A little extra warmth without bulk is perfect for the cold gym, but I'm finding that I love them as a sleeve extension under sweaters and thermals. If you don't know about arm warmers-- get educated!~ delahrambles
